What's next for Annalise Keating?
Speaking of Annalise, it looks like she's trying to move forward in a positive way. In the Season 3 finale, Annalise is seen attending an Alcoholics Anonymous gathering where she delivered a gut-wrenching confession about her "almost son."
However, Pete Nowalk pointed out that her journey towards change will not be an easy one.
Her confession about her complicated history with Wes (Alfred Enoch) is already a good starting point.
The show previously ended with a surprising cliffhanger following the big reveal of Wes' killer. He faced an unfortunate death before a mysterious assailant named Dominic (Nicolas Gonzalez).
